COIT29227 - Smart Technologies for Automating Business and Social Practices

General Information

Unit Synopsis

Smart technologies are emerging to automate and improve traditional business and social practices in smarter and more efficient ways. Emerging technologies, such as cloud computing, machine learning, blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT), enable you to not only improve current practices but also to identify new possibilities to improve human life and business operations. In this unit, you will use your knowledge of emerging technologies to innovate an existing practice or propose a new way of doing it. You will identify a social or business practice that can be explored for improvement. The identified practice will then be analysed to design a smarter solution for automation and efficiency. You will then implement your designed solution to verify your proposed design. The unit will give you the knowledge to use emerging technologies you have learned in a business and social context.
